Yet, we still know very little about how US federal agencies have monitored and sanctioned water pollution violations and if these actions actually deter crime. In \u003ci\u003eRivers on Fire and Corporate Liars\u003c\/i\u003e, Joshua Ozymy and Melissa Jarrell Ozymy examined over one thousand federal water pollution investigations and prosecutions undertaken by the US EPA and Department of Justice from 1983 to 2023 to answer these questions. Their analysis provides the most comprehensive empirical examination to date of how the criminal enforcement of water pollution has evolved over time, patterns in prosecutions, and how criminals were sanctioned. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Punishing Environmental Crimes 1\u003cbr\u003e2 Water Pollution and the Evolution of Criminal Enforcement 14\u003cbr\u003e3 Tapped Out: Prosecuting Drinking Water Crimes 28\u003cbr\u003e4 Thar She Blows: Prosecuting Ship Pollution Crimes 46\u003cbr\u003e5 Water Worries: The Clean Water Act and Related Crimes 65\u003cbr\u003e6 Toward a Framework for Understanding Federal Water Pollution Crimes 81\u003cbr\u003e7 Punishing in an Age of Hostility 106\u003cbr\u003eNotes 121\u003cbr\u003eIndex 149\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52640497959192,"sku":"9781978845992","price":71.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/rivers-on-fire-and-corporate-liars-the-monitoring-and-sanctioning-of-u-s-water-pollution-crimes-hardback-9781978845992","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
